A federal judge on Friday blocked the Biden administration’s attempt to put greater emphasis on the potential damage from greenhouse gas emissions when creating rules for polluting industries.
U.S. District Judge James Cain of the Western District of Louisiana sided with Republican attorneys general who said the administration's raising the cost estimate of carbon dioxide emissions threatened to drive up energy costs while decreasing state revenues from energy production. The judge issued an injunction that bars the administration from using the higher cost estimate, which puts a dollar value on damages caused by every additional ton of greenhouse gases emitted into the atmosphere.

I have a gardening blog. If you captured CO2 and piped it into a greenhouse, your veggies would grow 30% faster. I have learned enough to grow 12 crops of zucchini a year and not just 6. There is no Global Warming but we will have 40 years of bad weather.
